As for me , out of my head , love for those dark of eye will not go

This is the sky's decree ; and other way , it will not be . *** The watcher tormented , and abandoned not the place of peace

Perchance , moving towards the sphere , the sigh of morning - risers will not be . *** On the day of eternity without beginning , they Fate and Destiny ordered me no work save profligacy

Every partition of destiny that here on the day of eternity passed , less or more than it , will not be . *** The ruby - wine , and the place of safety , and the Saki , kind friend , all are present

O heart better , when becometh thy work of repentance by turning to pleasure and ease if now it will not be *** O Muhtasib for God's sake , pardon us for the clamour of drum and of reed

For , with this idle tale without canon , the requirements of the shara' will not be . *** This is my power that , secretly , I practise love for Him

The bosom , the kiss , and the embrace , of these , how shall I speak , since mine they will not be *** One night , to Laila , Majnun spake saying : O peerless beloved

Revealed to thee , will be lovers but the distraught one through love will not be . *** O seeker come so that , in pure wine , I may display to thee Time's mystery

For , with this deceitful tale that thou hast chosen without sorcery , love's work will not be . *** O eye with thy weeping wash not grief's picture from the tablet of Hafiz's heart

For it the picture is the Heart - Possessor's sword - wound and , with washing the blood - colour will not go . ***
